The
Hidden Dangers of Your Excess Abdominal Fat - It's More Serious
Than a Vanity Issue!

About Abs
Did
you know that the vast majority of people in this day and age
have excess abdominal fat? The first thing that most people think
of is that their extra abdominal fat is simply ugly, is covering
up their abs from being visible, and makes them self conscious
about showing off their body.
However,
what most people don't realize is that excess abdominal fat in
particular, is not only ugly, but is also a dangerous risk factor
to your health. Scientific research has clearly demonstrated that
although it is unhealthy in general to have excess body fat throughout
your body, it is also particularly dangerous to have excess abdominal
fat.
There
are two types of fat that you have in your abdominal area. The
first type that covers up your abs from being visible is called
subcutaneous fat and lies directly beneath the skin and on top
of the abdominal muscles.
The
second type of fat that you have in your abdominal area is called
visceral fat, and that lies deeper in the abdomen beneath your
muscle and surrounding your organs. Visceral fat also plays a
role in giving certain men that "beer belly" appearance
where their abdomen protrudes excessively but at the same time,
also feels sort of hard if you push on it.
Both
subcutaneous fat and visceral fat in the abdominal area are serious
health risk factors, but science has shown that having excessive
visceral fat is even more dangerous than subcutaneous fat. Both
of them greatly increase the risk your risk of developing heart
disease, diabetes, high blood pressure, stroke, sleep apnea, various
forms of cancer, and other degenerative diseases.
Part
of the reason visceral fat is particularly dangerous is that it
apparently releases more inflammatory molecules into your body
on a consistent basis.
If
you care about the quality of your life and your loved ones, reducing
your abdominal fat should be one of your TOP priorities! There's
just no way around it. Besides, a side-effect of finally getting
rid of all of that excessive ugly abdominal fat is that your stomach
will flatten out, and if you lose enough stomach fat, you will
be able to visibly see those sexy six pack abs that everyone wants.
So
what gets rid of extra abdominal fat? Is there actually a REAL
solution beyond all of the gimmicks and hype that you see in ads
and on commercials for "miracle" fat loss products?
The
first thing you must understand is that there is absolutely NO
quick fix solution. There are no pills or supplements of any sort
that will help you lose your abdominal fat faster. Also, none
of the gimmicky ab rockers, rollers, or ab belts will help get
rid of abdominal fat either. You can't spot reduce your stomach
fat by using any of these worthless contraptions. It simply doesn't
work that way.
The
ONLY solution to consistently lose your abdominal fat and keep
it off for good is to combine a sound nutritious diet full of
unprocessed natural foods with a properly designed strategic exercise
program that stimulates the necessary hormonal and metabolic response
within your body. Both your food intake as well as your training
program are important if you are to get this right.
I've
actually even seen a particular study that divided thousands of
participants into a diet-only group and an exercise/diet group.
While both groups in this study made good progress, the diet-only
group lost significantly LESS abdominal fat than the diet &
exercise combined group.
Now
the important thing to realize is that just any old exercise program
will not necessarily do the trick. The majority of people that
attempt getting into a good exercise routine are NOT working out
effectively enough to really stimulate the loss of stubborn abdominal
fat. I see this everyday at the gym.
Most
people will do your typical boring ineffective cardio routines,
throw in a little outdated body-part style weight training, and
pump away with some crunches and side bends, and think that they
are doing something useful for reducing their abdominal fat. Then
they become frustrated after weeks or months of no results and
wonder where they went wrong.
Well,
the good news is that I've spent over a decade researching this
topic, analyzing the science, and applying it "in the trenches"
with myself as well as thousands of my clients from all over the
world to see what works to really stimulate abdominal fat loss.
The
entire solution... all of the nutritional strategies, as well
as training sequences, exercise combinations, and more have all
been compiled in my Truth
About Six Pack Abs Program.
Keep in mind that the point of this whole program is NOT abdominal
exercises (that is only a very small portion of it). The main
point of this program is showing you the absolute most effective
strategies for losing your stubborn abdominal fat, so you can
get rid of that dangerous health risk, as well as get a flatter
more defined midsection.
If
you follow the guidelines, you WILL lose your belly fat that has
been plaguing you for years. This is not guesswork... it is a
proven system that works time and time again for all of my clients
on every corner of the globe that actually apply the information
I teach. If you apply it, the results will come. It's really that
simple.
The
only reason most people fail in their fitness goals is that they
have good intentions at first to adopt a new lifestyle, yet after
a few weeks or months, they abandon their good intentions and
slip right back into their old bad habits that gave them the excess
body fat in the first place.
I
want to help you succeed in finally getting rid of that extra
abdominal fat that is not only UGLY, but also DANGEROUS.
Don't
waste another day allowing that nasty abdominal fat to kill your
confidence as well as contribute to your risk for MAJOR diseases.
